Important Safety Information (Continued)

•Save all instructions

•After striking a foreign object, stop the engine. Remove the wire from the spark plug and keep the wire away from the plug to prevent accidental starting. Thoroughly inspect the blower for any damage. If damaged, have the equipment repaired by a trained technician before restarting and operating.

WARNING

•Stop the engine before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting the unit. Make sure all moving parts have stopped. Let the engine cool, disconnect the spark plug wire and move it away from the spark plug.

•Never attempt to make any adjustments while the engine is running.

•Keep the blower in safe working condition. Check all fasteners at frequent intervals for proper tightness.

•When servicing or repairing the blower, do not tip the machine over or up unless specifically instructed to do so in this

Manual. Service and repair procedures can be done with the blower in an upright position. Some procedures will be easier if the machine is lifted on a raised platform or working surface.

•Use only original equipment or authorized replacement parts.

WARNING

•Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.

•Do not change the engine governor setting or over-speed engine.

•Clean and replace safety and instruction decals as necessary.

•To guard against engine over-heating, always have engine air filter mounted and clean.

CHILDREN SAFETY

WARNING

•Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the blower and the leaf clearing activity.

•Keep children out of the area of operation and under the watchful care of a responsible adult.

•Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.

•Be alert and turn blower off if children enter the area.

•Before and while moving backwards, look behind and down for small children.

•Never allow children to operate the blower.

•Use extra care when operating near blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obstruct vision.
